Amazing stay! The location is beautiful and so peaceful. The waterfalls are in walking distance and only accessible to hotel guests which made it feel like we had the entire area to ourselves. Everyone was friendly and accommodating to us. They even let my husband request a special meal for his birthday. We will be back.

Beautiful property! Excellent staff as well. Beware of the VERY steep mountain drive in…not for the faint of heart. But once you get here, the peace immediately takes over!
